Abstract
According to finite-size scaling theory, the correlation length in an Ising strip with infinite length and a width of L lattice constants has the form ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{L}$(T)=Lf(c(T-${T}_{c}$)L) in the scaling regime L\ensuremath{\gg}1,\ensuremath{\Vert}T-${T}_{c}$\ensuremath{\Vert}/${T}_{c}$\ensuremath{\ll}1. Here f(x) is a universal scaling function, which does, however, depend on the boundary conditions at the edges of the strip. Utilizing the correspondence between the two-dimensional Ising model and the one-dimensional quantum Ising model in a transverse field, we calculate the explicit form of the function f(x) for spin-spin and energy-energy correlations in strips with periodic, free, fixed, and mixed free-fixed boundary conditions.
